Figure 1. Young male mice show increased number of GABA-labeled neurons in the mPFC and hippocampus following severe CIH.
(A & B) Representative images showing localization of GABA in PL and IL mPFC of a control (A) and a young 5% CIH (B) male mouse. Severe CIH exposure increased the number of GABA-labeled neurons in the IL of the mPFC in young male mice. (C & D) Representative images depicting GABA-labeled neurons in the hilus of the dentate gyrus in a control (C) and a 5% CIH (D) male mouse. Severe CIH increased the number of GABA-labeled neurons in the hilus in young male mice. (E & F) Bar graphs show the relative numbers of GABA-labeled neurons in the PL and IL mPFC (E) and GABA-labeled neurons per area in the hilus (F) in control and young 5% CIH male mice. N = 5 animals per group. Scale bars = 100 μm.
